What my most proactive clients are doing right now

A lot of smart clients have been asking me legit questions lately,

so I figured I’d get ahead of it and share what I’m seeing in the market this week.

——————————————————————————————–

Buyers are asking me:

“Can we use this volatility to our advantage?”

Absolutely-and that’s where experience matters.

This market gives us real leverage: not just on price, but on rate buydowns, closing costs, and other meaningful concessions.

Homes that have been sitting 90 to 120 days? Those sellers are motivated. And I’ll negotiate something worthwhile for you.

“But Gebby, I’m waiting for rates to drop-they’re too high.”

I hear that a lot. But here’s the truth: timing the market rarely works.

The best time to buy is when you can negotiate well-and that’s right now.

If rates go down after you buy, you refinance and gain.

If they go up, you’ll be glad you locked in when you did.

Either way-you’ve made a smart move.

Sellers-and potential sellers-are asking me:

“Do I need to change my strategy?”

It depends on your situation.

Homes that are updated, priced accurately, and marketed well? Still moving.

But others are sitting-and in this market, time on market works against you.

The key is understanding your competition and positioning your property to stand out from the crowd.

If you’ve read these emails before, you’ve probably picked up two things:

– I have no opinion on what color your kitchen should be-you don’t need me for that.
– But I take the financial and negotiating aspects of a transaction seriously.

I dig into the data, analyze the comps, and build a plan tailored to your home-whether buying or selling-to get you top dollar, quickly, and without drama.

I know it’s hard to think about making a move-especially if you’re staring at a 3% mortgage and today’s rate is twice that.

It can feel irrational. But here’s the deal:

The numbers only work if your lifestyle does too.

If where you’re living doesn’t support the life you want, the math alone shouldn’t make the decision for you.

And I get that this stuff is emotional, not just financial. That’s why I’m here-to help you look at the full picture and figure out what makes the most sense for you and your family.

Markets don’t wait.
